Domaine de CHEVALIER
Grand cru classé

The 2021 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A.Galloni-December 2023): 96/100 “The 2021 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc is a dense, powerful dry white. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2021 is going to need quite a bit of time to be at its best. Today, the wine's textural intensity and some oak are front and center. The 2021 is a Blanc of substance and real character. I can't wait to see how it ages.”

Vinous (N.Martin-November 2023): 95/100 “The 2021 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc was one of the best wines that I tasted, white or red, during en primeur. Now in bottle, it has a captivating bouquet of mineral-rich citrus fruit that represents one of the most complex I have encountered in any vintage. The palate is well-balanced with a beautiful line of acidity and a slightly resinous texture, very complex and intense on the finish that lingers in the mouth. What a fabulous dry white Bordeaux this will become.”

The 2018 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A.Galloni-April 2021): 95/100 “Rich and unctuous in feel, the 2018 offers terrific nuance to match its creamy, enveloping personality. [...] The poised, deeply resonant finish is striking.”

J-M Quarin (October 2020): 95/100 “Ample from the attack, juicy in the mid-palate and above all very tasty, the wine develops on a fat touch. The finish is complex, long and sappy. It's superb.”

The 2017 vintage in the press:

Vinous (A.Galloni-march 2021): 94+/100 “A wine of noble breeding and class, the 2017 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc dazzles from start to finish. [...] The 2017 needs at least a few years in bottle to come together, but that won't be an issue for a wine that will drink well for several decades.”

The 2021 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 96/100 “Offering impressive volume on the palate, velvety texture and exceptional tannin quality, the 2020 is gradually relaxing. But don't be in a hurry to open it! It will bear witness for generations to come.”

The 2020 vintage in the press:

La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 96/100 Coup de ♥ “Remarkable 2020, whose intensity at no time detracts from its charm and floral, lifted grace.”

Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 95/100 “Domaine de Chevalier 2020 has a refined, discreet, well-defined nose with aromas of blackberry, heather, gravel and earth. Sensual in style, it gradually unfolds in the glass.”

Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024): 95/100

The 2018 vintage in the press:

En Magnum (April 2020): 96/100 “True to its always energetic and luminous style, this spectacular terroir expresses itself in the most beautiful of ways. A new success on a grand scale.”
